How to Make progress on Event Campaign V

[Noob Herder]

Just started and learning the ropes. Been pretty fun so far playing the beginner missions, and have been making progress towards the Anni Event. I'm confused on what to do to make progress on the Event Campaign V though. What do you have to do to make progress to complete this?

It's still last year's event, and that is over.

Stay tuned for it to reset, probably very soon.
It will tell you when an event grants year long progress.

Short answer: you can't, it's over.

More (and possibly useful) answer: (assuming they have it again)

The event campaign is an annual series of specific events. You get campaign progress by participating in those specific events. There is no rollover of an incomplete from one year to the next.

The campaign has (since campaign #2) consisted of 5 21-day events (with 14-day projects), thus a total of 105 days, and required 70 progress to complete. The events are NOT consecutive - there will be times in between where you can't progress it. (In the past, they've been spaced across the year from late February all the way to November.)

(for completeness, campaign #1, in 2019, only had 4 events, so the numbers were slightly different.)

It's designed so that you could just complete the 5 14-day projects and also complete the campaign (that's how they get the 70, it's 5x14); however, you can continue to earn progress on the "extra" days during each event after completing the event project, so you can actually finish it after the first week of event #4. (3x21 + 7)

As Cap says, the campaign can be finished early if you play each event to its final day. I just managed to finish the last one on the last day of the third event, so don't let the length of the campaign discourage you.

TY for the very thorough explanation, the event progress bar made it confusing. Def lot to take in.

Wait... what, **face palms** and here ive been just playing the events the required days thinking they wouldnt give event points for days outside required... might explain my short falls and why I never bothered much with the campaign thinking id still have to spend zen to complete it.

Yeah... the 2023 version was a little weird in that respect as events #2 and #3 were both extended due to game login glitches that didn't affect everyone, so some people were able to get extra days out of that. Also it's technically a 20-hour cycle, so if your schedule is flexible, you can pick up one extra credit per week (by progressively doing the event three to four hours earlier each day); the math however was done assuming you get progress once a day.

Anyway... we don't know for sure if there will be another one, but if there is, I would expect the first event of Event Campaign #6 to take place after the end of the Anniversary Event. *POSSIBLY* starting as early as the same day.
